PhotoDirector vs PhotoScape X

PhotoDirector is generative-AI photo editing software for creating, enhancing, and transforming images. Edit by Chat turns plain-language requests into guided editing actions, while Quick Action suggests changes such as enhancement, background blur, color correction, and cleanup. Generative features include image generation, image-to-video, character motion swap, multi-face swap, AI try-on, and object replacement. For detailed editing, PhotoDirector supports RAW files, batch work, image organization, layers, masks, blending modes, compositing, exposure, HSL, curves, sharpening, and lens correction. Its stock feature provides access to iStock by Getty Images. PhotoDirector Essential is free without a time limit, but advanced AI tools and selected export options are restricted. Mac and Windows versions are separate products, and a license does not transfer between them. Internet access is required for activation, subscription access, online services, some features, and updates. The free plan requires no payment information.

PhotoScape X is a free photo editor for macOS and Windows that fixes and enhances images. Editing tools include cropping, resizing, color adjustment, film effects, overlays, HDR, dehaze, curves, levels, and sharpening. Brushes provide spot healing, mixing, mosaic, effects, and painting, alongside red-eye correction, liquify, and clone stamp tools. Cut Out removes image backgrounds. The app also includes a batch editor, viewer, collage maker, animated GIF creator, combine and print tools, screen capture, color picker, and RAW support. Layer editing, masking, AI retouching, and a Photos Extension are listed features. The Free plan costs nothing with in-app purchases; Pro features are available as an in-app purchase, with no listed Pro price. The Mac app requires macOS 13.0 or later. The App Store lists Mac availability, English plus 11 additional languages, and Mooii Tech as developer.
